To support the strong worldwide demand in ultra-high performing powders for industrial applications, in particular in the coatings, composite and 3D printing markets, Arkema is to expand its global production capacity at its Mont site in France by more than 50%. This investment of approximately €20 million will come on stream in the second half of 2019.
These powders are marketed under the brand name Orgasol. This project will support the steady customer growth in these industrial applications. This latest expansion announcement for Arkema’s specialty polyamides demonstrates its commitment to its global customer base.
“Having recently announced very substantial investments in Asia for our Rilsan polyamide 11 and Rilsamid polyamide 12 product lines, we now shift our focus to the Orgasol specialty powders portfolio. We continue to invest to support the growth of our customers, especially in cutting edge, next generation applications,” said Erwoan Pezron, global president of Arkema’s Technical Polymers business.
